I’m just saddened that it comes at a detriment to the core sim.

As previously mentioned, it’s probable that this kind of marketing buzz helps keep drawing people into the user base and ensuring the business model of the core sim is viable.

How many developers in total have they now got in the Asobo / WT / Bing / INI / Gaia / etc. / etc. system now working on the sim? I’m sure they can spare a handful for this kind of thing.

Currently downloading the FREE OPTIONAL update (at a snails pace) but watching some stuff on YouTube, looks cool and a lot fun!

I consider myself a "serious simmer" but welcome these additions, it can only grow the customer base which is good for Asobo/MS and great for us!

If you don't like it, don't download it.

My only comment? Still no sign of any Valentine's sale :dry:

Simmarket has a Valentine's sale going, but I didn't spend much time looking at what's there yet.

I'm NOT a movie-guy, but I and my brother played this DUNE-2 strategy-game back in the day on PC. 😀 I know all about crafts/vessels of House Attreides and Harkonnen 😂😂👍

 

Ah there we go, another old-skool Dune 2 player.  I kind of liked the Ordos Trike.  That was a really fun game.

When will Microsoft make the sequel to this (ok technically Microsoft didn't make this, but it was made by Sublogic)
